This Week’s Missed Connections

craigslist.jpg

Apologies can’t make up for missing last weeks, uhm, missed connections, but I can say this: We’ve got quite a few more to showcase than usual, and I’ve changed things up a little bit (see below). This week, the great debate between the pal wink and pervy wink continues, it’s mighty lonely aboard SEPTA, and we’re all spending a little too much time at the Tech Center.

Lick this:

Tech Center Right Now – m4w

i am sitting right across from you. just look up again. email me back.
I bet this caused about 63 really embarrassing moments.

Outside Annenberg – m4w – 22

You said I always look handsome as I was heading for class at 3:40. Just thought that was real nice! Thanks for makin’ my day :]
Aw, cute. Someone walked to class with their mom this afternoon.

Anthropology lecture. Red and black bike. – w4m – 18

You’re in my anthropology lecture hall. I’ve never spoke to you but you ride a black and red fixed Bianchi to class. And you always wear those cute little hats and glasses. You probably haven’t noticed me but I think you look like you’re real fun and we should get lunch sometime or something.
Note to self: Wear more cute little hats.

Socially retarded and right behind you in class. – w4m – 24

That’s right. In any setting that isn’t school or work, I normally have no problem with things like this.

Aaaanyway, you seem like a really nice guy. You’re real big. I’m real short. You have a nose ring. I have tattoos. You have a nice voice. I bike to school sometimes. You have style. I roll into class late and crack wise with my friend. You, um, winked at me the other day when I came into class even though I was looking mighty frumpy that day. So I says to myself, “Self, was that a ‘Hey, pal’ wink or a pervy one?” Maybe you can enlighten me, what with the whole socially retarded thing I have going on here.

I guess I can’t say much else without outing myself as a weirdo, but there it is.
I’ve been trying for years to nail that pal wink, but it always seems to come out pervy.

Temple Girl at Annenberg Equip. Office – m4w – 20

I have noticed you quite a few times over these past few weeks. You have been extremely friendly and I have sensed some flirtation. You have short blonde hair, deepblue eyes, a fantastic smile and a great amount of energy. I am afraid to inquire more about you, but would love a chance to talk. Maybe if it wasnt too much trouble we could grab a cup of coffee or meet for lunch. If that sounds cool send me a response…ttyl
What would happen to the film industry if coffee dates were a sudden impossibility?

to the Girl at the R3 train going to temple u – m4w – 29

hi i see u all the time on the R3 aroud 8 45 am you are so hot i like to chat and know u more . mm maybe trade pics
this is at the R3 train going to temple u
Asking her to trade pics even though you see her everyday? I wonder if that line works in real life. ‘Cos my guess is that it isn’t online either.

temple R5 to lansdale – m4w – 23

you got on at temple and got off at lansdale.
i got off at penbrook… didnt get your name.

but you did tell me that your dad was picking you up from scranton!
“Then you told me it was gettin’ hard for you to keep your pantson. Yer cute.”

My funny favorite by far – w4m – 20

You were sooo hilarious last night. Definitely my favorite. You talked to me before you went up. I had no idea you were a comedian but it was a nice surprise. So to the really cute, funny black guy (I’m so sorry I dont remember your name) that performed at Temple last night, you have a fan and an admirer. Drop me a line.
I always wondered that! Proof that comedians DO get laid after shows.

we walked together but never talked – m4w – 20

hey we walked next to eachother from spring garden til the tech center, you were cute, and seemed alil down, maybe it was just the fact that we were going to school, I thought it was alil weird that we went all the way to temple together but i got nervous and didnt say anything, i wanted to say hi, hope i run into you again
“Or at the very least, I’ll walk a few steps behind you the whole way and pretend that we’re talking.”

on the side Paley around 2:30, boy in blue sweatshirt with dark hair – w4m – 18

I previously saw you in center city when I was with my friends at Qdoba. We waved at you through the window, and I believe my friend winked at yours. You were wearing a green sweatshirt that night, the 12th, around uhh 8 maybe. I just saw you today by Paley Library, more by tuttleman, while I was sitting on a bench, walking. I think you might have been on the phone.

I’d like to know your name. haha.
Dude, no fat chicks. No fat chicks.

There’s like 6 people involved with these two. God damn, it’s like a swingers club up at Beury Beach.

TECH Center – m4w – 20

This is the second time I’ve seen you in the Tech Center. You wear big glasses, dresses, and eye-scorching colorful tights. You are adorable.
“If you put your hair in a pompadour, wear a fanny pack and two different color shoes, I may fall in love.”
